Naomi Campbell wins her appeal against a five-year charity trustee ban

According to BBC Entertainment & Arts, Naomi Campbell has won her appeal against a five-year ban from being a charity trustee after a tribunal ruled she was unaware of misconduct at Fashion for Relief. The tribunal said the most serious misconduct was concealed by a fellow trustee, Bianka Hellmich, and that Campbell did not know about, or participate in, the improper expenditures, including unauthorised payments of more than £290,000 to Hellmich; she was found to bear some responsibility for missing minutes and accounts, but not for the core misuse of charity funds.
